Amazing as ALWAYS!  It’s so much more than the service or treatment. As a consumer you are “treated”, heard, allowed to share and leave feeling so much better than just having nicer nails!  Thank you!!!

A big thanks to Julie for taking extra care with my injured toe. It was much appreciated.

Excellent! I was late for my appointment, Rebecca was very gracious and still did my pedicure. Thank you, I appreciate your patience 

Regular polish pedicures include a warm foot soak and a foot scrub followed by clipping of the nails, shaping of the nails, your cuticles being pushed back, a foot and calf massage, moisturizer and nail polish.

Dermapen4 microneedling is the breakthrough of the decade utilizing the most advanced needling cartridge innovation to vertically pierce the skin. DP4 glides over the skin creating millions of fine fractional channels up to 104% faster than other microneedling devices! These channels can carry up to 80% more of topical nutrients deeper into the skin, and in turn our body’s response triggers a natural process of repair. This results in an increased production of collagen and elastin, resurfacing, retexturizing and overall skin renewal anywhere on the body! 

In combination with the DP4 MG mesotherapy serum collection, microneedling can be used to treat:
* Acne or acne scarring
* Fine lines / anti-aging
* Hyperpigmentation 
* Hypopigmentation 
* Stretch marks
* Alopecia / hair loss 
* Rosacea 
* Large pores
* Uneven skin tones / skin texture
* Sun damage

This is a complimentary consultation to discuss any of the treatments offered by Rural Beauty. This appointment can help provide recommendations based on any cosmetic concerns you may have! 

Skincare or Injectables Consultation

Consultations

If you have never received a “Botox” treatment from Rural Beauty specifically or it has been a year since your initial consultation, please select this service! This allows extra time from Jenna from Rural Beauty to chat about the treatment, goals, anatomy and perform the “Botox” injections. If it has been within a year since your last consultation with Rural Beauty and you are looking for re-treatment, please select “Botox- repeat treatment” instead. 

Botox- Initial Treatment

If you have received “Botox” treatment within the last year from Rural Beauty specifically, please select this service! If it has been over a year since your initial consultation, please select “Botox- initial treatment” instead as a new consultation is required to discuss any changes in your medical history, anatomy, etc.

Botox- Repeat Treatment

Add a small amount of Botox to your upper lip to allow the muscles to relax and “flip” your lip upward. This is a subtle way to create a fuller look, and a less gummy smile. 

Lip Flip

Neuromodulators such as Botox can be injected into different areas of the face to produce localized muscle relaxation. When injected into the large muscle in the jaw called the masseter, Botox can help with jaw clenching, teeth grinding, tension headaches and jaw pain. Masseter Botox can also provide slimming of the face by reducing the size of the muscle over time. Typical dosing for masseter/TMJ injections is 15-30 units per side, at $8 per unit.

PCDC or phosphatidylcholine and deoxycholate are natural molecules within the body. They work by disrupting the membranes of fat cells, causing the fat cells to permanently break down and metabolize.

PCDC can be injected into specific areas such as under the chin (submental fat/“double chin”), bra/underarm fat, back fat/bra bulge, “love handles”, lower abdomen, knees and outer thighs. 

Please note that pricing is subject to change based on the number of areas being treated. It is also important to note that PCDC injections can also require multiple sessions to achieve client goals.

Beauty Basics spray-on tanning sessions are sprayed on using a tanning gun by a technician. This service is for the entire body.

The tanning solution has 3 components: Bronzer, DHA and Aloe Vera.

The Bronzer is a water-soluble dye designed to produce a temporary tan. The brown bronzer will wash off in the shower or bath but will not effect your overall tan.

The DHA produces a long-term tan. When applied to the skin, DHA reacts with proteins in the skin’s superficial layer to form a golden brown color. It begins to darken 2 to 3 hours after tanning. It reaches it’s peak color within 24 hours. The DHA tan will begin to fade after a week, just like a tan from the sun.

The Aloe Vera helps to carry the DHA deeper into the skin and promotes softer, smoother skin. The tanning solution contains more than 65% stabilized Aloe Vera liquid. Aloe Vera is a natural moisturizer that helps the skin draw moisture
